I make my living with Photoshop and have found that limiting the number of history states allowed will add dramatic speed gains to many filters and functions. The default history state settings, for instance, will result in a slowdown of up to 50% in portions of the Photoshop benchmark tests.

Go to Photoshop -> Preferences -> General and change the default history states to as low as you can tolerate ... the lower the better for speed gains.

Additionally, uncheck Export Clipboard and you will get rid of the annoying delay and nag that occurs when your clipboard chokes on the huge chunk of data that Photoshop tries to export every time you leave the program
